"Okay."
Satou nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Season the sea cucumber with supreme broth, then add ginger and garlic and braise for ten minutes."
"Okay, no problem."
Miyoko Hojo nodded. She was already skilled in Chinese cuisine, so as soon as Satou spoke, she knew what to do and obediently went to the side to assist him.
One must know that Miyoko Hojo's personality was extremely strong; for her to willingly help as an assistant was extremely rare.
"Satou, I'll help too."
Tadokoro Megumi also walked in at this moment.
"Hmm, please soak the dried scallops in warm water, then shred them into fine strands."
Satou said.
"Okay."
Tadokoro Megumi nodded and also began to get busy.
What Satou was going to make this time was Four Joy Dumplings, and although he didn't add fantasy ingredients, it was more than enough to face two ordinary customers.
With the help of Tadokoro Megumi and Miyoko Hojo, the Four Joy Dumplings were made very quickly, taking only thirty minutes to steam.
"These are the steamed dumplings you ordered."
Satou handed a steaming plate of Four Joy Dumplings to the two customers who were trying to extort him, saying coldly.
"What beautiful cuisine."
"Yeah, what kind of steamed dumplings are these? They look so delicious."
Many customers, seeing the exquisitely shaped and colorful Four Joy Dumplings, began to discuss in low voices.
Mizuhara Fuyumi, who had been squatting on a chair and paying close attention to the progress of the matter, also showed a hint of surprise on her face and whispered, "Four Joy Dumplings?"
"These steamed dumplings look good, but who knows if you interns can make decent cuisine?"
One of the customers sneered and said.
Both of these customers were very tall, with tattoos on their exposed arms, and clearly not good people.
"Then you can try them."
Satou looked at him expressionlessly and said indifferently, "If you are satisfied, remember to pay for the meal."
"Heh heh, don't worry. If we are truly satisfied, of course we will pay for the meal."
The two customers chuckled, but their tone carried a strong hint of mockery; they had already made up their minds to say it was bad, no matter how delicious it was.
Then, the two picked up the chopsticks on the table and began to taste.
"How foolish, these two will definitely say it's terrible."
"Exactly, this transfer student is probably overconfident, right? He's definitely going to pay the price this time."
"If he can be expelled, that would be even better."
The nearby students were all ready to watch Satou's downfall.
Miyoko Hojo and Tadokoro Megumi were also very worried, fearing that the two customers would deliberately say it was bad, but they still chose to believe Satou.
The two customers each put a steaming hot steamed dumpling into their mouths; after biting open the delicate dumpling skin, the hot meat juice flowed out, carrying a strong seafood flavor.
Sea cucumber, egg, shrimp, dried scallops, carrots, and many other delicious flavors burst forth all at once, like bombers flying over their tongues, dropping various delicious bombs.
"This dish..."
The mocking smiles froze on their faces, and the two men turned crimson, struggling to endure the bombardment of deliciousness on their tongues, unable to speak for a moment.
"How is it? How does this dish taste?"
Satou looked at the two red-faced men and smiled slightly mockingly.
"This dish is truly too beautiful... too terrible! That's right, too terrible!"
The two customers almost blurted out the word 'delicious', but at the last moment, they forced themselves to change it. However, after saying it, their faces were as if filled with blood, exceptionally terrifying, showing that they had used all their strength to change the word 'delicious'.
"That's right, these steamed dumplings are still just as terrible, even worse than the previous dish!"
One of the customers had cold sweat all over his forehead, as if he was exhausted, but he was still saying the opposite.
"Indeed."
Tadokoro Megumi's face was pale and she trembled, confirming that these two customers who were trying to extort them had indeed deliberately said it was bad.
Miyoko Hojo also bit her lip, feeling extremely unwilling; just by looking at their expressions, she knew how delicious that dish was, but even so, they still said it like that, which was truly too shameful!
The surrounding students, however, were even more gleeful...
"But, looking at your expressions just now, you seemed very satisfied, right?"
Satou said calmly.
"What a joke!"
The two customers' faces instantly changed, and they cried out guiltily.
"In that case, let other customers taste it and see whether this dish is delicious or terrible."
Satou suddenly said.
"We can help taste it."
The customers at Satou's table, the middle-aged couple, walked over and said, "I don't believe that such an excellent intern's cooking would be so bad."
"No!"
The two customers' faces immediately changed, and one of them even wanted to throw the plate of Four Joy Dumplings on the ground so that no one could taste them.
But Satou was quick, and had already grabbed his hand.
"You?!"
The customer looked at Satou in shock, seemingly not expecting that this seemingly slender young man would have such great strength; he, a strong and powerful man, was being squeezed by him, and his hand hurt immensely!
At this moment, the middle-aged couple had already begun to taste.
As soon as they tasted it, they were conquered by the dish.
"It's truly delicious. I've never eaten such good dumplings!"
"Is that so? Let me try it too."
The other customers also couldn't resist and came over, each taking a Four Joy Dumpling and putting it into their mouths.
The next moment, these customers all showed expressions of ecstasy.
However, they then looked at the two customers who were trying to extort them, with genuine anger in their eyes.
"You two are too much, how can you say such a delicious dish is terrible?"
"Exactly, are you two trying to extort them?"
"Should we report them to the police?"
The two customers immediately became the target of everyone in the hall, their faces extremely pale.
"We're sorry, we were wrong, we are willing to pay."
They quickly looked at Satou with pleading eyes, hoping he would spare them.
"Alright, the meal fee is 100,000 Yen, per person."
Satou said calmly.
